This project, developed in collaboration with local communities and the Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve (KTWR) located in the eastern Terai landscape of Nepal, aims to initiate conservation activities to ensure the long-term survival of wild Asian elephants and their coexistence with humans in this region. Project objectives include monitoring of Asian elephants, reduction of human-elephant conflict (HEC), outreach and education centered on elephant conservation and HEC, and promotion of alternative livelihoods in HEC-prone areas. Specific project activities include: 1) collection and analysis of dung DNA to estimate the elephant population size in KTWR; 2) formation and training of a community-based HEC response team (CBHEC) including two members from each of 14 Buffer Zone Community Forest (BZCF) groups; 3) CBHEC team monitoring wild elephants and collection of HEC data; 4) promotion of alternative livelihoods such as fish farming to HEC-affected and marginalized groups; 5) development of awareness and education materials and conducting an awareness program via local media including FM radio, street dramas, and sign boards; and 6) human-elephant coexistence (HECx) training delivery to 14 BZCF groups with 35 participants per training; 7) HECx training for 10 local journalists, 40 army personnel, local grade 9-10 school students; and 8) an exposure visit for the CBHEC response team and KTWR staff to Chitwan and Bardia National Parks to observe successful HEC mitigation measures employed in these parks. This project will contribute to the long-term survival and conservation of wild Asian elephants in Nepal by addressing the relatively new and increasing problem of HEC in the Eastern Nepal landscape.

This is the second phase of Cordaid's earthquake response activities in Lahrepauwa and Daibung VDCs, in Rasuwa District. Phase 2 focuses on broader recovery and the full use of the resilience methodology as a learning, planning and implementation tool. The objective is to build on existing capacities and strengthen resilience. Both phases built on Cordaid’s strategy that in disaster prone areas an integrated approach is needed to strengthen resilience in order to reduce risks and build response capacities of local communities and authorities for future disasters. The integrated strategy uses a multi- stakeholder approach involving affected communities, local and international civil society organizations, local and international authorities, private sector and research institutes. The approach focuses on hazard and local risk conditions, in this case the earthquake, landslides and its impact on the target communities. The resilience building process assumes that all men and women in the community are equally vulnerable to the hazard, what differentiates within the community are capacities to respond. The community identify their capacity gaps and priorities have been given to those sections of society where resilience is weakest and their ability to bounce back is restricted. The resilient community action plan will define longer term plans with priorities disaggregated to what can be funded by Cordaid and the rest are to be added in VDC/District plans and plans for other agencies on integrated approach. The key outputs for this project will be construction of permanent shelters and latrines, rehabilitation of water systems, livelihoods development, DRR and protection mainstreaming.

The project has been implemented since July 2015 to address the livelihoods and WASH needs of the families living in the IDPs Camps in 2 VDCs (Lahrepauwa and Daibang) in Rasuwa district. The project aims to reach above 500 families in 4 different camps (camp B=Lahrepauwa-Dandagaun 163 HHs, Camp D=Lahrepauwa-Haku 200 HHs, Camp A=Lahrepauwa-Haku camp 65 HHs and Camp C=Daibang-Haku camp 63 HHs). there has been minor changes in the total number of the households as there is still people moving. Cordaid and its two partners Parivartan Patra and Lumanti) has established vocational centres for short term trade courses including carpentry, masonry, handicrafts (bamboo baskets in particular). Individuals from the IDPs and host communities have been/are being selected on set criteria to provide them the skills. some of the trades were outsourced to local providers like mobile repairs, computer skills and driving lessons. As envisaged the carpenters' and masons' skills as reported are being utilized in the reconstruction of the damaged houses in their local communities. The products prepared during these trainings/vocational centres were exhibited in local mela (exhibition festival) near Lahrepauwa VDC to attract market for the products. An agro-farm has also been established for the IDPs to grow innovative agri-products including seasonal and off season vegetable and mushrooms to support their livelihoods in the local markets. In continuation of applying the learning from the agro-farm Cordaid and parivartan has further supported the leading farmers from the IDPs communities to establish their own afro-farming tunnels to grow different seasonal vegetables like tomatoes, cauliflower, garlic, beans etc. 3 afro-farms have been established. Another major component of the project is to ensure for the safe drinking water and sanitation facilities both for men and women meeting the minimum humanitarian standards, and improved hygiene messages are being delivered to the camps dwellers through Child clubs organized in camps. project has also constructed child friendly spaces in some camps where the residents agreed on their construction to help the camps children in their recreational activities and continuous hygiene messages to reach to their parents and households living in the camps. In the context of these IDPs the project has been a great success in engaging them for learning different vocational skills as the there are still no clear plans from the government side for their resettlement. they have been supported with learning innovative vegetable growing techniques, establishing their own poultry farms, clothes sewing skills etc. Cordaid in Nepal and its partner Parivartan Patra, is successful in wining part of the Ockenden International Award with CAFOD's support and will continue the activities with the IDPs as CAFOD's funding deadline will finish in the end of April 2017.
